In these attacks, a malicious app or guest virtual machine gains access to the data stored inside CPU buffers – allowing hackers to bypass the security restrictions on the system. The bad news: The researchers who found the MDS bug say it likely affects all Intel CPUs released since 2011 – and as a result, Acronis Software-Defined Infrastructure could be exposed to an attack. The good news: As soon as the problem was identified, Acronis immediately developed a fix so your data won’t be at risk once you’ve installed the update.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/acronis-sdi-update-available-counter-mds-vulnerabilities-intel-processors/) [24 May 2019 — 4 min read ![Image 3: Cloud solutions for small businesses](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/74dd033305077b8ad219667201379601.png) CrashPlan by Code42 announces new file exclusions and deletes client historical backups A new round of backup file exclusions and backup deletions leaves CrashPlan’s SMB customers unable to protect their business-critical data – and looking for a new backup and recovery service.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/crashplan-code42-announces-new-file-exclusions-and-deletes-client-historical-backups/) [22 May 2019 — 7 min read ![Image 4: 7 Tips to Make Windows Updates Error-Proof Instead of Error-Prone](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/701297a7531d17743bf6f7c5f50e97c8.png) Why Acronis Files Cloud Is the most secure cloud file sharing service Over a decade has passed since “cloud computing” entered the global vocabulary. In that time, the ideas of cloud computing, cloud storage, and cloud services have been depicted alternately as a fad and as the future of IT, as compellingly easy-to-use and unapproachably complex, and as woefully unsafe and more secure than traditional computing.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/secure-cloud-service/) [22 May 2019 — 6 min read ![Image 5: Cloud solutions for small businesses](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/74dd033305077b8ad219667201379601.png) Cloud solutions for small businesses Cloud solutions are incredibly valuable today because they enable small businesses with limited infrastructure and staff to access affordable tools that help them do business and grow.

In fact, the latest annual edition of Verizon’s Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) reports that ransomware incursions accounted for 75% of the malware-driven security incidents of the past 12 months. The aggressive and lucrative use of ransomware as a favored cybercrime weapon has long been the focus of Eric O’Neill, the renowned former FBI counter-intelligence and author of the recently-published "Gray Day: My Undercover Mission to Expose America’s First Cyberspy", which recounts his role in unmasking and imprisoning notorious FBI mole Robert Hannsen (which was also told in 2007's "Breach").
